Pro Tips for the Perfect Custard Peach Pie:

1. Fresh Peach Selection: Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. Gently squeeze the fruit - it should yield slightly without being mushy.
2. Custard Perfection: Keep your eggs at room temperature for a smoother custard, and whisk thoroughly to prevent any lumps.
3. Temperature Control: Follow the two-stage baking process precisely to achieve the perfect custard consistency.
4. Cooling Matters: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, picture-perfect pieces.
5. Storage Solution: Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, though it's best enjoyed within 48 hours of baking.
